Danielle Devlin tied fellow teammate Libbey Fellows with a team-high five kills, while Bailey Ferda led the team in assists with seven.

"They're the No. 1 team in our conference," GFH head coach Katherine Sunwall said of Bozeman. " ... I felt like we did not compete."

Rustlers fall to Falcons

BILLINGS – The C.M. Russell High Rustlers fell to the Billings Skyiew Falcons in four sets Saturday afternoon.

The Rustlers fell behind early and lost to the first set 25-8, but battled back to win the second, 25-20. CMR, though, would drop the final two sets, 25-18 and 25-15.

"We got off to a slow start and then second set we started to pick it up," CMR head coach Theresa Besich said.

Besich said errors hurt her team toward the latter half of the match. Katia Michelotti led the Rustlers in kills with 10. Kiersten Evenson notched 14 digs, while Lindsey Anderson dished out 23 assists.

Trisha Carlson has four blocks and two aces.

"I just think we let some errors get to us in the third and fourth set," Besich said. "It's hard to come back from that … We let them get on a roll. They are a good team. They're are scrappy."
